METHOD OF PREPARATION OF COLLAGEN-BASED BONE SUBSTITUTE MATERIAL WITH IMPROVED BIOLOGICAL STABILITY AND BONE SUBSTITUTE MATERIAL OBTAINED BY THIS METHOD

摘要

1. A process for producing a bone substitute material having an improved biological stability by using animal or human bone material as the starting substance, which includes a) removing the blood pigment and other water-soluble proteins from the bone material by treatment with water ; subsequently b) removing water-insoluble proteins by treatment with H2 O2 solution ; then c) rinsing in cold water ; then d) degreasing with an organic solvent ; and e) sterilizing the material obtained by a conventional method, characterized in that f) the step of degreasing is carried out immediately after the step of rinsing in cold water which follows upon the removal of proteins, g) the mineral content is subsequently eliminated by dissolution with a complexing agent or an ion exchanger, and h) the material obtained is rinsed in running water in order to remove the residual salts therefrom.
